No Officer, I wasn’t Speaking On The Phone, Just Talking To Myself!

I have not used Jott’s  iPhone application in a while. Instead I was going the "old-fashioned route" and calling the service from my phone.  It wasn’t that I don’t like the application, its just that I was
finding it, on occasion, a little bit buggy. The biggest issue was if I were calling numerous times in a row and I wasn’t in a WiFi zone, the application kind of choked on itself and messages were not sent to the server until I was back in a WiFi zone.  Without high-speed net access, it became more of an issue when I need it to get the note back and wasn’t going to be in WiFi coverage for a while.

Yesterday, I needed to send myself a series of 15 Jotts in rapid succession while driving home. I don’t know what the company did with the application, but suddenly it was not only sending each message over 3G, but as soon as I finished the message, it was available to send back to me right away.  If this is the continues, it means that the service itself and especially the iPhone application for it are now very useful in any location.

If you haven’t tried the service it is definitely worth a look. I find it to be incredibly handy — a convenience and a significant timesaver. And while the free version of it includes the iPhone application that works quite well, it may well be worth looking at a subscription — the difference between 15 seconds of recording time and 30 seconds is tremendous.
